These fluffy spiced pumpkin pancakes will make an ordinary weekend morning extra special.

Ingredients

1 ½ cups flour

2 tsp. baking powder

½ salt

½ tsp. cinnamon

½ tsp. nutmeg

½ tsp. ground ginger

2 Tbsp. melted butter

2 Tbsp. granulated sugar

1 egg

1 cup cow’s milk or unsweetened almond milk

8 Tbsp. pumpkin puree

Dark chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl and set aside. Mix wet ingredients in a separate mixing bowl. Fold wet ingredients into the dry ingredients (don’t overmix). Pour batter onto heated pan (6-inch pancakes are a good, easy-to-flip size). Cook on each side until lightly brown.

Delicious chocolate option: Pour half amount of pancake batter onto pan, sprinkle dark chocolate chips onto pancake then spoon additional batter to cover the chips. Cook on each side until lightly brown.
